Arm Knitting and Finger Knitting

I was feeling so stressed with school and the oh so intense 3/4 mark of the semester so I thought it's time to DIY something. When I learn a new craft or make something it really helps me get my mind off of the things that cause me stress. 

I used these videos to learn from youtube: arm knitting by Michael's one more for arm knitting by Simply Maggie and finger knitting by Simply Maggie.

I used Lion Brand Yarn wool ease thick and quick in the color 'fisherman' you can find it here but I purchased it from Michael's. and I used two balls at the same time so every thing was extra thick, this was suggested as an option in one of the videos. and for the finger knitted ear warmer I only did two sewn together instead of three and used all one color. 

over all this was a really fun craft that only took a few hours to learn and make and I'm already getting a lot of use out of the scarf! 

here are some pictures of the final products: 

Adorable dress :)

The Mr. and I went shopping and I found this stunning dress for only 10 doll hairs! It's black and ivory knit with sweet winter patterns.  I'm wearing it here on Thanksgiving with a red cropped cardigan from forever 21, black leggings from American Eagle, two-tone high boots from Modcloth, pearl earrings covered by hair and sporting red lips with Revlon colorburst matte balm in the color 'standout' my new favorite red lip color!
